Beware iPhone, iPads And Mac Users! The Central Government of India has recently raised serious security vulnerabilities in Phones, iPads, Mac and other Apple products. The government has issued an advisory issued by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In).
Moreover, serious security vulnerabilities could lead to spoofing or the leaking of sensitive information from the device, as per the CERT-In advisory. This advisory has been issued on the CERT-In’s official platform, flagging the issue as ‘highly severe’.
“Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple products which could allow an attacker to access sensitive information, execute arbitrary code, bypass security restrictions, cause denial of service (DoS) and perform spoofing attacks on the targeted system”, reads CERT-In advisory.
